y to file thej detached sheets because of any.

By reason of this unique provision my pads are available at any time andthe large losses incurred through printing pads for the fixed months anddays of each month of a fixed year is entirely avoided. If the usercares Vto mark the year of adoption in pencil, or

otherwise, on each sheet, and should he ca re memorandum data noted inthe space l5 he may do so, but his voluntary procedure doesV not limitthe relationY ofl all thesucceedingsheets of the pad. l

In Fig. 2 is shown fragments of a completed pad comprising at 8 thefirst sheet of the second month, at 9'the first sheet of the third monthand at l() the first sheet of the fourth month.Supposingthepointerisarbitrarily set at September instead of Januaryv asshown,V a dotted line to theleft will show y that it .will Ybe inposition for the October groupQand also yfor the following month ofNovember, thersucceeding month of December,.the,neXt month January,etc., etc'. v

In lorder that the corresponding days of the weekof a givenmonth may beindicated,

a pointer V13 positioned along the bottom edge' of the backing 6 isplaced opposite the name of the first day of the week correspondingtothe first day of the selected month indicated bythe pointer on theleft hand edge l of the backing l6.

l When all the` sheets l, 2, 3, etc. vof a given month have beendetached, the pointer opposite the days of the week 4 will be shifted tothe day of the weekcorresponding to the first week dayv of the firstnumbered day of the next Inonth,where. it will remain until all thesheets of that month have been deythe first of the'nextmonth occurs.

tached when it will be again shifted to cor-y respond tothe first day ofthe week on which A If all of the'months of a year had 'eir- Vac'tly thesame number of days then the week day pointer, after having beenpositioned to the day ofthe week corresponding to the first day of astarting month, wouldnot need to be changed over the entire year.

The separate sheets of each monthly group bear the numerals from l to 31Vinclusive and are of course repeated from month to month.

. I do not limit myself to the use of twelve monthly groups secured to abacking as it is obvious that asingle month can be used on Vthe backingvor the monthly groups covering three months, six months or any othercombination. However, it is apparent that .the greatest benefit willaccrue to the vproducer and user Vif more. monthly groupsKV than asingle month are assembled on a singlesupport. An opening 16 at the topof the 'support serves to suspend the calendar on a wall. It is obviousthat my calendar will effect large economies in production and entirelyeliminate the Waste now incurred bythe producer and the user, thusattaining avresult that has hitherto been impossible, on accountof whichthis invention is claimed in its n ceeding monthly groups advancingmonth by month all the indicia of all the groups bearing the same spacedapart relation to each other, a suitable support,means for holding thesheets assembledon vthe support, anf'adjustable indicator slidable onthe support ad.- jacent the monthly' indicia, an imprint of the sevendays of a weekuadjacent the edge of. each sheet of a given monthimprinted opposite each other and kadvancing day by dayV fromv sheet tosheet, and an indicator movable on-the support adjacent the imprinteddays of theweek.
